Harare/Johannesburg: Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe had sharp words for Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown after the British leader issued his second call in as many days for the release of results from Zimbabwe's March 29 elections.
"Brown is the world?" the 84-year-old Zimbabwean leader asked following a meeting in Harare with South African President Thabo Mbeki. "Brown is a little tiny dot in this world," he said scathingly.
Mugabe was reacting to Brown's call for the official results of the presidential elections. The world cannot wait any longer for Zimbabwe to release the results of last month's elections, Brown said yesterday.
He added the international community was growing increasingly frustrated. "We can't wait any longer for the announcement of these results," Brown said in London.
On Friday, Brown said in a statement that the international community's "patience with the regime is wearing thin".
